Circadia Aqua-Biotic Balancing Moisturiser is a deeply hydrating water cream that does far more than moisturise. It helps protect and maintain a healthy skin pH while supporting the skin's microbiome and barrier, leaving skin calm, comfortable and visibly smoother.

A prebiotic helps reinforce the skin's natural microbiota, sodium polyglutamate captures and holds moisture while forming a silky protective film, and a ceramide complex helps restore healthy barrier structure. Niacinamide, panthenol and allantoin add soothing, balancing support.

Lightweight yet deeply comforting, it suits dry, compromised, sensitive and mature skin, as well as congested and blemish-prone skin that needs hydration without heaviness.

Ingredient
Niacinamide
What It Is

Although the word Niacinamide may sound a little scary, it’s basically Vitamin B3, an essential nutrient for your skin. This is why Niacinamide can help your skin look healthier.

It can be found in vitamin-rich foods, such as kale, mushrooms and almonds, which help take great care of your body from the inside, as well as in our skin care products to pamper it from the outside.

What It Does

Niacinamide is a true multitasker. From boosting hydration to protecting the skin from environmental damage, it offers a wide variety of benefits. It penetrates your skin and helps renew your complexion from within.

Benefits

Although Niacinamide may be less talked about than the wonder ingredient of the decade, retinol, its benefits are just as significant. Here are some of the most amazing skin benefits of Niacinamide:

  • Increases the skin’s ability to maintain hydration. Niacinamide strengthens your skin’s moisture barrier to improve its ability to hold on to moisture. Your skin is less likely to dry out and will stay hydrated for longer. If dry skin is a concern for you, view the range here.
  • Improves skin texture. It helps reduce the size of your pores while keeping your skin moisturised.
  • Rejuvenates the eye area. The skin around your eye is extremely delicate, and this is where usually the first signs of skin ageing appear. Niacinamide can help with these skin concerns and reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles for younger-looking eyes.
  • Helps with dark spots and hyperpigmentation. Niacinamide’s is a true multitasker, it can also help lighten dark spots and the marks of hyperpigmentation.
  • Aids surface skin cell regeneration for younger-looking skin. By locking in moisture, Niacinamide provides your skin with the moisture it needs for natural skin cell turnover to take place properly.
  • Helps with oily skin. Niacinamide helps regulate sebum production and this can help control oily skin.
Vitamin B5
What It Is

Vitamin B5 is also called pantothenic acid and once consumed, its main function is to convert carbohydrates into glucose for energy. Nevertheless, it is also used in supplements and within skincare (applied topically) to promote healthy-looking skin.

Vitamin B5 found to have anti-inflammatory, skin barrier-strengthening, and wound-healing properties.

What It Does

How to use in your skincare routine?

The beauty of the ingredient is that it does not increase photosensitivity, which means it can be used both morning and/or night, and it plays well with other ingredients.

We advise you wash your face and use a toner to remove excess dirt and grime, then following that up with a lotion or cream that contains Vitamin B5. Because it's highly unlikely to cause any type of irritation, using it even multiple times a day shouldn't pose any problems

Benefits

Vitamin B5 has many beneficial properties from a skincare point of view.

Firstly, it stabilises the skin’s barrier which means that your skin retains more water, moisturising it and helping it to maintain its softness and elasticity. As a result, it becomes plumper and may even reduce fine lines as it smoothes the skin’s surface.

Vitamin B5 has also been recognised to help with more chronic conditions such as cystic acne, eczema and rosacea as it enhances the healing process of the skin and reduces blemishes.

This vitamin is generally gentle and safe for everyone with low chances of irritating the skin, and those with oily skin may also like it, as it provides very lightweight moisturisation.

Vitamin E
What It Is

Vitamin E is a fat-soluble, essential nutrient with anti-inflammatory properties. Vitamin E helps support the immune system, cell function, and skin health. It’s an antioxidant, making it effective at combating the effects of free radicals produced by the metabolism of food and toxins in the environment.

Vitamin E is a powerful antioxidant that may be effective at reducing UV damage in skin. And when applied topically may help nourish and protect your skin from damage caused by free radicals.

What It Does

How to use in your skincare routine?

It can be used underneath moisturiser and sunscreen in the morning [if it’s a vitamin E oil] and is sometimes combined with other antioxidants, such as Vitamin C in Serums.

Best suited for those with dry, very dry, or mature skin.

Avoid using if you have very oily, acne prone skin or those prone to sensitivity.

Benefits

In moisturisers it can:

  • Stop skin from losing moisture.
  • Protect cells from damage.
  • Soften skin.
